91 year-old Zbyněk Ungr reflects on his career as a writer of literary radio programs at the Plzeň Radio Station, with which he has been connected since its very first broadcast. As a twelve-year-old boy, he witnessed the now-legendary announcement: "This is Plzeň speaking, free Plzeň is speaking." Even at his advanced age, Ungr maintains a director’s perspective, engaging in discussions with the filmmaker during shooting about the meaning and value of the documentary being made about him.
